Some correction. The area he's calling Yaya is called Kilimani. The area is more upper middle class and the average rents range from ksh 50k ($450) for a one bedroom, Ksh 60k ($540) for a 2 bedroom and ksh 70k ($630) for a 3 bedroom. The $1200 he quoted is a bit on a higher side.
Is Kilimani
Thank you, cuz, in NYC i don't pay $1,200 for maintenance on an apartment i own.
Great
True, you took that comment from right outta my keypad. I've lived and schooled in Kileleshwa/Lavington on and off since the 70s, when there were no apartments but singular bungalows in humongous compounds. The figures you have stated are correct. Not what the driver says.
Thanks
when you come back to kenya try to connect with AFRICAN TRAVELLER .. he is well educated on these topics that you are discussing with this driver
Yeah this driver is confused big time
The driver has too much misinformation it's nauseating. To start off he's calling a whole hurlingham yaya centre. 🤦♂️
I knooooow...at 7:40 he says to get a 2bedroom in that area is 1m us dollars.I'm like what the hell.I dont think he has a clue
@@Tata-bd9nx
I think he said 1mil Kenya shillings.....$100,000.
@@Tata-bd9nx He said 100m Kenya Shillings. Not sure which is worse. Lol. For those still curious a nice standard 2 bed apartment around here is roughly 8m k/sh. Thats about $50k approximately.
The first area where he drove into was Hurlingham not YAYa .YAYa Center is the mall not the area.
The building in 1:50 is FCB Mirab. My neighborhood. 3:28 is Sifa towers. We are a mix of all people around here. Cost of leaving for 2 Bedroom is anywhere from 65,000 KSH to 120k ($650-$1200) for rent.
Thank you
Mihrab Towers.
that whole area is not owned by indians.. majority are kenyans by far.. you need to get a real estate agent to give you correct information
check out my explanation about Indians in Kenya in the comments.
The Kenyan Indian business people own far less compared to wealthy Kenyan African businessmen Brother. Many of them rent the spaces in this Mall from Chris Kirubi's Centum Holdings and other premises in downtown Nairobi
Kenyan Indians live in parklands and the number is shrinking by the day, many moving back to India others to foreign countries.
@@blackpharaoh3325 What's causing them to leave?
@@icarus387 Kenyans are running all businesses that were owned by Whites & Indians. Importantly, Kenya blackenised everything after independence unlike SA and native Kenyans still mistrust foreigners with light skin from those in power to the cows in the village.
Thanks for documenting on TH-cam . Appreciate the time you’re giving to making videos for folks to see.
I hope that you don’t take the negative comments personally. The folks out here are just trying to help out. Your tour guide is a nice guy who knows a lot about Safaris but you but not the most informed about the city. It would help to do some research . This dude is not from Nairobi and knows very little about the city and commerce. I could list out a number of misinformation but going through the comments, I think I will spare you a minute because I don’t think he meant bad.
The info about Mortgage financing was also inaccurate. He gave you a narrow explanation based on his own experience. That is not a standard mortgage. There are many different financing options available in the market based on many other risk mediation factors including income etc. If you are trying to educate others through your platform, then your owe it to them to give them accurate info. Especially if people are inspired by your channel to make a move to Kenya.
The fact that Indians own an area that one would describe as beautiful should be a wake up call to the diaspora to invest in Kenya and Africa at large. And they should aspire to build beautiful buildings like the Indians are doing. The importance of beautiful Architecture can’t be underestimated in instilling pride, identity, a sense of belonging and empowerment to black people in Africa and other parts of the world. Diasporas should aspire for excellence especially if they are going back to Africa to invest.
The topic about indians is not true. But he is good as a driver and good company
Enlighten us bro!
I lived close to Yaya Center and the area is actually called Kilimani. It borders Hurlingham and Kileleshwa.
Hope you connect with other Kenyan TH-camrs who will provide you with more information - recommend African Traveller
True
I agree
That information is wrong I think he knows more about Maasai mara
15:33 Amazing how India enters Kenya and have an entire robust community while the Africans are suppressed with excess restrictions in India.🙃
These are descendants of Railway builders mostly laborers and Masons who were brought by British in the late 1890s
@@antebellumblackamerican7408 You can't undo the past my brother/sis.....
See my explanation in the comments, you'll be able to get a clearer picture about Indians in Kenya.
They have been installed as a tribe. Just like the kikuyus, masai and others the Indians are a tribe in kenya . The Indian tribe of kenua
@@afro-centric2653 it's not the past it's happening right now. African students in India are not even allowed to earn a wage. Plus the richest man in Kenya is an Indian born in India.
The price of a two bedroomed apartment around Kileleshwa ranges from 12 million Kenya Shillings to 30 million Kenya Shiilings (120,000 - 300,000 USD)
Insane
Why do you have a safari driver showing you the city? Not too smart. You are receiving tons of misinformation.
Oh my word, you're asking about the precedent that made the "Indians" the predominant group in that area and he thought you were asking about the President 😂😂.
Mate, that guy probably only just knows about the subways of the Maasai Mara and nothing about NBO🤦🏿♂️
Those are high middle income and NOT upper class areas in Nairobi
That guide retraining really.
Just what I said.
Your correct 💯
That's the same thing he did in Ghana he show the middle class/income and titled it upper class area. Same AA have a hard time to accept that they're Africans who are millionaires /billionaires in $£€ leaving in their mother land Africa.
Which areas is upper end ? Are Westland and Lavington upper income ?
I like the work you doing brother I watch all your videos. Africa is beautiful
Look how clueless that dude is😏I stay at Westlands now you want to say am an Indian 🙂
🤣
He's not clueless is what he knows
@@estherenk ..... which is nothing!!
The Indian story is exaggerated. They didn't wanna colonise anyone and they are in their fifth generation here. Yes, quite a number have found it hard to assimilate. They normally keep within their circles and many are industrialists. But black people are the backbone of the economy by and large.
I love Maina he sounds like a warm guy to get you around just not to give you much info especially when it comes to Numbers, he's throwing numbers around and making Nairobi sound like a place Kenyans can't afford living yet 13 million Kenyans live in There. Nairobi is a very western city but properties are mostly owned by Black Kenyans, we have a few number of Indian Kenyans but they are like 50,000 in population. That Indian story was nothing anyone has ever haeard of and I challenge any Kenyan who has ever heard of a story where Indians were planning to colonize Kenya please come up. I am sure Maina is probably more experienced on Safari tours but Nairobi sure isn't the place for him.
You are right. The tour guy is nice, but his numbers are wrong.
😂😂😂sorry for laughing but that colonisation story also got me off guard
How do you know Nairobi isn't the place for him? 😂
The Indian Issue thing is not Factual. Take this as casual conversation. It is more nuanced than that.
You've chopped it up and tied it together concisely.
I loved this video I used to live in Westlands as a kid . My nana lived there , and in church road too. Also happy valley
Get African Traveler he'll show you the real Nairobi
Lol and this is the fake nairobi, the fact is this is part of kenya as well, you can't see everything in a day.
For real bro
Go to the Chanel of a TH-cam by the name of African traveler his name is John he will show you Nairobi how it looks like .
TH-camrs are not the only ones who know where they were born and bred . .... Many locals, many perspectives
Can the driver pliz tell us what is the name of the area where yaya is located??
Kenyans afford those homes it’s not very expensive for them .Why is the demand so high if the Kenyans cannot afford?
I was even wondering, especially houses funded and designed by KNH. Even the private sector have Kenyans don't sell houses that expensive.
Yes, we afford them. Younger Kenyans prefer them. With the internet, education and skills we have, we earn premium. A number of my classmates bought their units there but most work in Europe and North America as software engineers. Older Kenyans buy them to rent out to tourists.
At this rate we will need guides showing people around the country to have some in-depth understanding in the history of Kenya. Watching this video was cringe-worthy listening to all the wrong information that was being given.
Indian population in Kenya is decreasing at a fast rate due to "unfavorable" business competition. Africans have taken all profitable businesses used to be owned by Indians, majority who have lost businesses have moved to Tanzania, SA, Uganda, etc.
100 million is too much for a 2 bedroom apartment. That's US$1 million. A typical apartment 2 bedroom 2 bath apartment in Kileleshwa or Kilimani would be about 12 to 20 million Kenya shillings
I agree with you , he probably meant around 10mIllion KES
i like maina,but he is more of Safari guide than a city one
True
🤣🤣🤣
The African traveler is the best City guide in Kenya
@@nairobinyeusi5811 yes he is,he might be busy ,havent seen his post since Mombasa
😂😂😂😂
Those are middle class areas actually.....not that much of an upper class...Maybe Karen, Runda etc for upper class....the area is not called Yaya center, it's called hurlingham. I doubt if your Driver knows Nairobi well...maybe a guy who moved there from countryside
Anitafte mimi . natoka kibra and i know every place in nairobi
Hello goblack2africa and family 🙂🖐🏾
Yaya center the 1st modern Mall in Kenya after Sarit center
He said rent is €1200 a month, but that is in Nairobi, the capital. In Mombasa which is also vibrant town, you will get around €250 a month, a very high standard house

I think our brother is being kind to say Nairobi is as developed as any US city. I have been to the West Coast at least and I don't remember seeing any cities with dusty sidewalks and open sewers. Nairobi is one of the most developed cities in East Africa with quite a few nice tall buildings but not to a world class level. And also, most of the other cities in East Africa apart from Kigali are nothing more than village trading centers with fancy tall buildings here and there. Although, Kigali has tried well to organize and seal sidewalks so that they are tidy and roads remain super clean. All cities in East Africa have a very long way to go.
We are getting there.
@spicy queen i would carry your sentiment further to state the Addis Ababa is the most developed in East Africa as it even has a burgeoning light rail metro and expansive expressways but it is still not world class yet.
@@ThePrincipality-dy1iq no way. I have been to Addis Ababa in 2010. The street were litter with plastic water bottles. Nairobi is way above in food taste, cleanliness and infrastructure..I was there as a child in the 90s. The weather is also amazing. But I have seen on TH-cam Addis Ababa looks much different than it did 10 years ago. The only thing I like about adidas Ababa is the safety culture . No pick pocketers or thieves, although Ethiopians are poor they never resort to petty crime and they never burn people alive. But as a child in early 90s, I would walk in Nairobi by myself and nobody bother me or kidnapped me luckily lol. So I guess the security situation is a recent thing I am guessing.
@@Kiama17 you said it yourself, you were last in Addis as long ago as 2010. You need to see it now my friend. Addis Ababa is currently the most developed city in the whole of East Africa in terms of infrastructure relative to its size in area and population. And with the GERD dam (Afrika's largest power plant and hydro dam) functioning, it now has year round electricity. At the moment Nairobi does not compete with that.
@@ThePrincipality-dy1iq You mean the electricity is uninterrupted ? Nairobi public utilities needs help but most building have back up generator. I'm Somali from Somalia, if I were to choose a place to live. Definitely Nairobi if it had better security and that has to do with wealth disparity. The Kenyan government is working on providing affordable housing to it's citizens which is way ahead by itself compare to sub Saharan Africa Countries, the only country that is doing a great job is also Rwanda both in development and security. I think improving poverty starts with providing affordable housing and the Kenyan government trying shows they are at least trying to improve the situation. It terms of knowledge, and implementation of infrastructure improvement which is close world class. I think their justice system is broken and police are resorting to shooting gangsters dead. But hopefully, they can provide opportunities to youth so that life of crime is not necessary and those hardened criminal are given prison sentences rather than corrupt judged being paid off. Ethiopia is trying to do one big project but the city is very old and needs modernization. Not a one time.. I will only agree with you that security and culture of respecting private property is much better in Addis Ababa.
Top professionals live there... Love the place so much... Lavington etc.. Full of ambassadors ... Doctors and some minsters. .
Thank you so much for showing me My homeland used to live there 18 years ago I live in Little Rock Arkansas now 👍🏼
Nice video. The place is called Hurlingham. Yayah Center is a shopping mall in Hurlingham. Apartments go for KShs10 - 60 million & rent is averagely KShs 60,000. You just passed a billboard with an apartment price listed at KShs 10 million. Properties worth over $1 million dollars are largely found in Karen, Runda, Lavington & Muthaiga. Its not true that Banks will require customers to raise 50% 9f the capital for projects, its usually 15% - 20%.
This tour guide doesn't know Nairobi. He must have just come to nairobi to work.. but he didn't grow up in Nairobi. He came from the country side as adult. He's 85% misinformed.
please correct his info so we have accurate information
Done my research and what he says 120 million shilling must be the cost of land but not a 1 or 2 bed apartment ..He probably not sure about the cost.
He said 120,000 Kshs for rental apartments and about 100million for buying space,,,when you buy space in an apartment the price is very different
I would assume he was telling him the cost of the land, however the cost of apartments is on point. He is fibbing about the Kibaki era with the Indians, what kibaki did was to make sure banks loaned more money to sme and individuals, that is the era that the Chinese came to kenya with baskets of money. Parklands is still dominated by Asians. Kibaki did not expropriate any land from Asians, unless you talking the cartels in Nairobi county stealing from legit owners. Land thievery is rampant in kenya in due part to endemic corruption.
he is giving a lot of false information. i think he just want to make him happy by pretending to know everything
@@bwiznation oh, I get it now
@@bwiznation And the 120,000 bob for rent still not true. That's more than double the rent for a two-bedroomed apartment in that area.
I think it depends on the lender. Some lenders will take 10% down and do up to a 25 year mortgage. Others will just require you to buy the land and they will lend you the rest and take from a portion of the rental which they are responsible of finding the renters.
you is doing great, keep it up, a donation is coming, ISA
Your tour guide is amazing.
Thanks

I watch your vlogs but this driver today just spoiled my day with all the wrong information he gave you!!
I know right .
I cannot wait to visit
Great unbiased insider information.
Kileleswhwa ,Riverside ,Lavington and them ,died when 'Fancy' appartments and Townhouses started Mushrooming everywhere leading to an influx of people from everywhere .All the wanabes moved there and shared Apartments. I think it is just a glorified Version of Umoja Innercore .You should have seen it when i first moved to Kenya
😂😂😂
True. I grew up in Kileleshwa, late 70s and early 80s. There were no apartments then, and the compounds were so huge. Some residents would play golf in their own compounds.
About loans, mostly you are supposed to raise between 20 and 30%
That cost of 100 million shillings the driver quoted for an apartment in Kileleshwa was dead wrong. That is 1 million dollars. There are no I million dollar apartments in Nairobi.
Hi sir I hope you and your family are enjoying your stay in Kenya. Karibuni Sana.
In an attempt to provide context as to how at one time kenyan Asians at one prospered disproportionately, let me give you a brief history of our country.
During the tenure of the second president the late Mzee Moi, from 1978- 2002 it is fair to say that despite whatever good intentions he had, corruption had run rampant. Those who "knew how to play the game" among them asians profited disproportionately even as an inevitable result the wider country suffered economically.
And with the widening of the divide between the "haves and the have nots" obvious tensions arose and it wasn't just a racial thing it was more of a class thing leading to lots of petty crime it just so happens the Asian race was classed in one group with all the other "haves".
Fast forward to The tenure of the third president Mwai Kibaki there was a crackdown on corruption and attempts of recovering proceeds of graft, streamlining service delivery, and a general opening up of the economic space boosting consumer and investor confidence that provided many more Kenyans and others as well an opportunity to get on the road to economic development.
Great informative conversation
To be fair, I find the information about Indians in Kenya rather misleading. The true picture is that the British brought in the Indians to help build the railway and also brought in Indians to work as civil servants. This was about 100 years ago. At the time, both India and Kenya were British colonies being ruled by the British Monarch. The Indians were more educated than the Africans and therefore enjoyed more privileges from our former colonial masters who as usual had mastered the art of divide and rule. With this kind of arrangement, it’s obvious the Indians felt that they were better than the Africans but this is not to say that all Indians felt that way. As for the segregation in so far as the living areas are concerned, it is the British who sub-divided Nairobi and allocated separate areas for the White people and other areas for the Indians just like it happened in South Africa. This arrangement obviously started changing after Kenya gained her independence where more and more Africans started acquiring most of the prime land in Nairobi. In fact, Indians own just a little over 5 % of the entire land in Nairobi including the CBD Central Business District with the rest 90% being owned by Africans while the rest is owned by other foreigners including the British, Jews, Arabs etc. Where Indians excel in is in manufacturing spheres because they have the advantages of tapping into the resources from their kins in India. Aswe know, India is quite advanced in Industrialisation, science, medicine and technology. These are the areas which Kenyan Indians capitalise on and make a lot of money. Secondly, many Indians work ethics is quite high compared to many Africans and this gives them an edge in the market which ever area or sphere they venture in. Truth be told, without the input of the Indians, Kenya would not be where it is today. Uganda chased them out in 1972 when the self declared Field Marshal Idi Amin Dada sent them parking. Uganda has since struggled economically and in fact about 15 years ago Uganda had to recall and compensate the Indians whom they expelled so that they could resurrect their business in Uganda. Aa for not intermarrying with other Kenyans, it is well known that Indians practice arranged marriages world over. In fact, they go to fetch for their spouses in India itself rather than marry from their own fellow Kenyan Indians. This is a deep rooted culture and we have to respect it. The Somali community practices the same mode of marriage and we’ve got to respect that as well. The problem most Kenyans aged between 40 years and above is that between 1980-1995 or thereabouts, corruption took root in Kenya from top to bottom courtesy of the leadership of former President Daniel Arap Moi’s government. During the period, there was no democracy in Kenya and abuse of human rights was rampant. As a result of this, Kenya suffered economic sanctions from the US and other developed countries and the IMF as well as the World Bank. Government had no money and that’s when Indians were given unfettered entry into the President’s office since they could take money to him for his own political purposes. With such came protection and that’s when some of the Indians also felt that they were untouchable and could mistreat and abuse their employees without facing any sanctions. That came to an abrupt end when the third President Mwai Kibaki ascended into power and stopped those unfettered entries to the President’s office and with this new anti racial laws and labour laws were brought in to safeguard the interests of the employees. Bad and arrogant Indian employers started facing court actions since they couldn’t enjoy any more protection from their puppets in the government. Now if you asked anyone African who is below the age of 30 today about the Indians, you will get a very different response because they have not lived in that dispensation impunity by the Indians from 1980-2000. Indians are nice people, very smart and hardworking and indeed true Kenyans.
That was a great piece of article and extremely factual, I am mean its impossible to add beyond what you have written. Hope we will educate our young Kenyans so that they can see how far we have come as a people.
Cooley are not known for having education, what ever that is. you are saying that "education" is the source of the favoritism??¿??? Indians are just innocent bystanders in the opression of African people.???
You sound like you're worshipping the very same people that was complicit in your own downfall and they wouldn't hesitate to do that again if given the opportunity. Sad
To say that Indians are hard working is the reason they are were they are without giving the context of historical legacies is to perpetuate self hatred and to advance a micro form of inferiority.
You are a chump🙄.
Nice to see us on billboards
Merci de nous avoir fait visité Nairobi virtuellement
yaya center area is called Hurlingham
The guy is not an expert on real estate in Kenya so why all the questions? Seems a little unfair?
😂😂😂
U can tell the man isn't knowledgeable abt real estate. He's a gd driver.
Lol. Soon as he called it "Yaya area" (despite the large signage by the petrol station saying "Kilimani") I knew we were gonna be in for a bumpy ride of misinformation. Suggesting about 100m shillings for a 2 bed apartment in Kileleshwa soon confirmed that the otherwise lovely Maina was fully out of his depths in this neighbourhood here. Please watch for scenery only. :-)
Agreed. Remember, Nairobi is a city full of brokers.😂😂😂😂
THANKS FOR THE VIDEO, LOVE IT, AFRICAN FACES ON BILLBOARDS.
Your driver is clueless......I give up ...He is spoiling my day...
Ksh 100,000,000 is 1million USD. The cost for an apartment is 10m to 30m Kenya shillings depending on the quality.
These are more of upper middle class and not upper class estates. Upper class areas are more exclusive -e.g. Kitusuru, Karen, Muthaiga, Runda etc; Then there's also those who opt for the outskirts or completely out of Nairobi e.g Nanyuki, Naivasha and such
Wow Kenya is nice. Thank you for sharing.
Amazing
Maina is a very good driver always have contact with him but he is abit misinformed about Nairobi history some places though , TH-camr Afrikantraveller can inform you more about the history of Nairobi when you come back to Kenya link up with him for a city tour.
Kenya needs street-trains and overpass trains, the city area needs to be expanded and proper underground drainage established at the same time. Great to see there are pedestrian zones along the road, so good for cycling or walking or going for a jog (early morning before it gets busy)
I hope you guys made it safely to Kigali.
Kigali is a village
That's not correct brother.
@@kenaso2295 am meaning to nairobi
Indians were not segregated, they live in communities and they have tight bonds within themselves and practice their culture which makes people feel like they are outsiders which is not the case...Their stories date back from the days when their parents came to help the British build the East African Railways and these are the offspring of that era.
This tour guide is a liar. About the Indian story and Kibaki changing things is all made up in his mind to fit his narrative. He just made that up. He didn't expect the question. Fake.. fake....!!!!!

He wasn't sure about his information.. he gave wrong info
But.... It's still alittle expensive in Kenya
You will require more to build in Kenya
This driver doesn't know what he is talking about he is I'll informed next time get yourself a better guide....Afrikaner traveller will be the best bet!!
I agree. This dude does not have a clue of the things he is saying.
I agree. This dude has no clue
correct someone not bashing them
He is a Game park Guide! Not a City life Guide . He s trying his best😊
You are everywhere mr animist! That internet connection must be good in Burundi!
The taxi guy is a disgrace to this country with his lack of knowledge concerning our nation
Nairobi looks more beautiful viewing from far.
So the apartements 2 bedroomed in Kileleshwa, kilimani are going for approximately between $ 90,000 to $ 210,000. If you want a $ 1 m Property which is app ksh 100,000,000 then better buy a home in Karen.
A 2 bedroom apartment probably goes for 15 to 20 million Kenyan shillings, also Ksh 100 million is approximately 1 million dollars and no apartment goes for that amount of money.
Colonial segregation by race before 1963:
In order of priority:
Karen - White settlers
Parklands was the Indian designated area by the colonial government
Arabs - 10 mile coastal strip
Somalis - Eastleigh
Native Kenyans - rural areas and slums (they needed a pass to come to the city)
Africans started owning property in these exclusive areas after 1963. But the greatest advance was recently in the 2000s when the colonial leases(99 years) came to an end and many foreign owners did not renew their leases.
Thanks for the explanation, I'm west African and from what I learned, British settlers gave lands to white and asians so the have the parts of some cities in east and Southern Africa
120k that's not true, that's about 80k. Just come to Eastlands and get a 4 bed massionette at 40k 😉
80k you can get a 4 bedroom.
You are right. I was paying 80K($800) for a 2 bedroom apartment in Kilimani. He is being misinformed! If the apartment is furnished then it could pass for $1,200
Kenya runs an open economy where there are no controls on the amount of money an individual can bring into the country or take out of the country so long as the money is legitimately your money. Foreign Investors never worry about what would happen to the profits they make in Kenya because they are allowed to take it with them at anytime. Equally, a foreigner does not need to be in partnership with a local in order to start a business in Kenya unlike what we see in many African countries.
When you get a chance go to Konza city,the upcoming San Francisco of Kenya
Where in Kenya...

I have driven in both countries. Trust me, you adapt 😂
It's you live in a bubble in America. Wake up.
100 million shillings is a million dollars. But those apartments are probably 200 thousand dollars for a 2 bed.
Your driver is clueless about Nairobi, you need an actual guide who has correct information
Correction purely not bashing good 2 bedroom house might be like 18m-30m not a hundred million because for that prize you get a town house of 6 bedroom with a ne arce compound in Nairobi
About the Indian too many it's all wrong they part and parcel of Kenya maybe not recognise as natives but they contribute alot to the Kenya as a whole and more community that's are not Kenyan community have since been integrated to the Kenyan community like the Kenya British citizen are now Kenyan natives
he is giving you a lot of false information
Lol.
Exactly!
You can specify atleast for them.
I also agree for some stuff.
Indians in Kenya still segregate themselves from Kenyans and especially in the residential places.
Indians can't allow Kenyans to leave with them in most apartments.
This driver is crazy! I think he came to Nai a few years ago..slightly less than 10 years!
I used to live in parkland the driver is right about parklands is true parkland own by Indian totally true and and fact and they treat very bad my Kenyan brothers and sisters I hate them I used fight with them one I saw any mistreatment for people who own the land Kenyan they should wipeout Indian if you’re African and you wanna rent apartment in parkland and the owner is Indian he is not gonna rent you no matter how much money you have if you know there apartment available for rent when you go to ask for rent they will tell you we only rent for vegan not meat eaters can you believe that they’re very bad human being if you don’t believe me please go visit parkland and ask for rent and ask who own the building you will find out immediately
How come you did not get your self a tour guide to show you around when you went to Ghana. Cause there’s so many beautiful places in Ghana you did not get the chance to see sooo many beautiful houses
100,000,000 Kenya shillings is approximately 1million USD, your guide exaggerated on rental prices and house purchase prices, between 500 - 1,500 USD you can rent a very good apartment and as for purchase I recently bought an apartment around the corner from Gaya centre for 7 million Kenyan shillings for 70,000 USD. I only wish you had a better tour guide, he didn’t do Nairobi justice for you. If you come back I would be more than happy to give you a factual tour!!!
the prices quoted by the driver are way too high. In kilimani and other middle class areas a one bedroom a payment ranges between 450USD to 500USD a month
*What side of Town are we on..?* The driver with all haste and excitement, YAYA Center. The neighborhood is called Hurlingham....lol. Maina is providing you with a lot of wrong information. His opinion if I may. Still a better companion than your first driver at Uhuru Park who didn't want to be filmed.
Aii that guy is totally clueless am cringing everytime he makes mistakes.Have you heard about that Indian Q&A???What about that realestate question and financing.I get secondhand embarassment everytime he is clueless .Huyu alisomea wapi aki
How is?. Here in the US, Indians don't mix except setting up businesses in black neighborhoods
@@anitasworld7007 It's not about formal education. He's not up to date with information. His problem is pretending to act like he knows, na hiyo kiherehere yake.
@@yudahwa-ta-seti6075 I think it's their culture. They could be very conservative due to cultural norms like traditions and religion. Otherwise we get along alright. And don't listen to this driver. He's full of it...
@@afro-centric2653 nope it's not their culture. They love mixing with whites in the u.s... they just don't like Blacks.
You only need ten percent of the total amount to gate mortgage to purchase property
Dude...find a realtor and ask them about housing...this driver is giving you all the wrong answers lol...I doubt he lives in Nairobi city....probably in satellite towns around Nairobi
are the prices too high? or too low?
@@SuperTruthful Nairobi can be expensive but a great investment hub for real estate...that's why one needs a more straight answer than speculations
@@SuperTruthful rent around westlands can go as low as $450. Especially the apartments.
100 million KSH is 1 million USD...which is false for properties in that area...get a more informed person, or Kenyans will give you thumbs down for publishing misinformation about their country....not your fault, but get a better informed driver not a safari tour guide
